no...

maybe if calculated by a retard with a caliper... throw him in the bod pod or using an electronic calculator or do a hydrostatic test and you''d see that that's still slightly above 10%

not trolling here.. dude is very lean

that advert is full of shit, as there is NO FUCKING WAY that fella that that before pic is 23% LOL! he's around 12% in the before pic but the after pic is correct as that is a legit 7%

serious question WOO, have you every been @ 7%? if yes then you know that each percentage point drop from 10% to 7% makes a huge fucking difference

going from 15% to 12% doesn't really look so much different, but once you go from 10% to 7% it's like night and day

What do you guys think it is? I have no idea. No homo  8)
You are 8% and judging by your face not being equal in leanness you are running something that causes water retention, therefor you look like you are 10% bodyfat due to water retention

You are almost out of scope.

Is that a clock on the wall in the bathroom?  Why?  So you can time your shits?

could have been...

i just know that i can fool a caliper because at the time i was getting tests that said 8% and i knew it was bullshit... has a lot to do with where you carry fat and where you pinch

No offence but calipers is the only true method, it measure the thickness of the skin and muscularity is only blurred by the fat in the thickness of the skin so everything else means nothing.

 The more fat you have between the muscle and the skin the less visible your muscles are and that is what is meant by ''bodyfat'' so it only makes sense that the only true measurement is by calculating the thickness of the skin through calipers.

we would need to see more pictures to properly judge. Pictures of his showing more of his serratus, legs and back would help. People carry fat differently. For me I store it all in my lower abs/love handle region.

but based on this pictures I would have to guess 11-13%  ..no way that he is 10% or less

around 10 by the look of this shot.

Yes i'd agree with the 10% mark here, good job so far.

Yeah 10 is about right.

That would be my guess also.




pretty much sums it up

Calipers can be really off and those $100 dollar electric gadgets are way off. I get different percentages from day to day on my $120 dollar body fat scale. Calipers are the same deal. Get two trainers to use calipers and they will give you two different readings. The only accurate method is hydrostatic  under water weighing. That's the gold standard that they calibrate the other methods.

I find it easy to believe that guy is over 23% body fat in those before and after pictures. He is soft and has no doubt a lot of visceral fat as well as subcutaneous fat.

Joining in on the insults. Epic tweezed eye brows. Just having fun. I'm guessing you are around 10 to 12% body fat.

I also have a hard time believing he is over 20. Everyone's different but he looks pretty thin and you can even see ab outlines. Over 20 percent is a fat dude or a woman basically.

Also, if he put a shirt on in the after pic, no one would think he worked out :)

By the way, calipers measure bodyfat under the skin only and gives a estimate on total bodyfat. Of course it's pretty unreliable because some don't store fat the same and it doesn't take in bone density and other factors.

I have tried a Tanita scale at a gym once and also have this caliper at home.

I'm not understanding why you didn't just title the thread "Hey, look at me I look pretty damn good" rather than make up some reason like you have no idea what your body fat percentage is....
